“Lyle cares for our two pooches and elderly kitty on a regular basis. He is always super responsive and does his best to help us if we have a last minute need for him to drop in our fur babies. Our pups love him and we know they are well cared for when we're not home.”
“We highly recommend Sarah. She communicated with us all the time and sent photos. Most of all she was so accommodating when we ran into issues with our travel plans. We will definitely use her again if she's available”
“Melanie impressed me from the start! This was the first time leaving my two kittens (5 months) over the weekend. But I felt 100% comfortable with Melanie, from our meet and greet through the end of my time away. I would recommend her for sure.”
“Jessica took such great care of our sweet giant dog. We so appreciate the detailed communication, the thoughtful questions and accommodating the dynamic needs of our pup. She went up and beyond, thank you!”
About: I have taken care of dogs for the past 6 years. Neighbors and friends have relied on me to walk and feed their pet. I currently have a 6 year old dog that thinks everyone is his friend. I work from home so it would be easy to drop in, feed, and take your pet for a walk. I do request at least couple hours notice. I do not currently do any dog boarding in my home. I would be able to drop in to check on your dog and take your pet for a walk.
“She has been absolutely wonderful! She took amazing care of my cat, who grew very attached to her. She went above and beyond, even helping with things that weren’t part of the contract, and I am so grateful for her kindness and dedication. Having her as my sitter gave me complete peace of mind—I couldn’t have asked for a better person!”
“Maddy was great. She did a great job of taking care of Eunice, and making sure that she was well fed and watered. She also did a great job with the litter and overall tidying up. Loved the pictures she sent. Highly recommend her!”
“Theresa was awesome. She made sure our fur baby was taken care of, and we greatly appreciate her communication, kindness, and professionalism. Highly recommend her!”
“As an owner of an angry cat, a quiet cat, and an outgoing cat, I was worried that they would be a handful. Luckily, they loved Taylor (even the angriest older cat), and everything was great. Thank you Taylor!”
About: We have been life long animal lovers - raising a combined 30+ animals (both domestic and farm). We recently lost our 2 dogs, after raising them from puppies and cherishing every moment! Now with our kids, we've decided the best way to fill our hearts is by helping care for other families' beloved pets. With years of hands-on experience (and the added insight of having a father who's a large & small animal veterinarian), we bring both loving care & extra peace of mind to every walk, play session, and cuddle. We have two adults who work full-time from home, so our availability and presence within the house is very flexible. Our children are school aged (Kindergarten & 1st Grade) so they are home during non-school hours. The largest animals we have owned are Rottweilers down to most recently a Pomeranian, so experience in safety is vast! We have a fully fenced in yard (or fenced in deck if your animal prefers to be off the grass) - both offer plenty of shade for potty breaks outside. We have a dedicated dog room for safe sleep and rest - which is on the same floor as our normal living area and primary bedroom. We definitely consider pets & animals to be an extension of family and are treated as so - with attention and free roam of the home and furniture.
“Our girls LOVE Nick. He took such great care of them and we came home to happy pups. We look forward to continuing to schedule drop ins and dog sitting in the future !”
“Lauren did a fantastic job caring for our cats! I can see they were well fed and played with while we were away. Lauren was very communicative and treated our home with care. I highly recommend her!”
“Alexi was wonderful! She and River got along great, she was on time and communicative for every visit, overall a lovely and reassuring experience that eased our minds while we were away! Plus, the pics were adorable! Highly recommend!”
About: I have always had a dog or cat in my life. Growing up and now I have two dogs of my own who I adore and love! I also have been a dog walker/nanny for two dogs for the past 4 years. One of these dogs was a puppy too. I have a pretty open schedule. I have a few open days a week and don’t mind driving to take care of pets. I am also open to stopping by before and/or after I get off at my other job! I have two dogs and take care of them like they are my kids! They follow me around the house and need constant attention that i love to give them. I will take care of my clients pet however they normally take care of them and follow their routine!
“Kristen did a great job taking care of my 5 cats! She was prompt, followed my instructions and my cats all welcomed her, they were not nervous. I will request Kristen again! She was great to work with!”
“Cammi was absolutely amazing to work with. She took excellent care of our special needs cat. Cammi was also an excellent communicator and took away any fears I had. I would book her again in a heart beat. Thank you so much, Cammi.”

Becky was Wonderful! If I could give her more than 5 Stars I absolutely would. From the moment I met her I was instantly comfortable. My cat, who usually hides from most everyone, came to greet her almost immediately which completely put me at ease. The whole time we were gone on our trip Becky stayed in touch, sent pictures and gave us updates. She even brought in our mail, any packages that were delivered and put our outdoor trash can away after trash day. More importantly she was amazing with our very picky cat. And, she left some toys as a little gift for our cat which was such a nice surprise to us! I very HIGHLY recommend booking Becky for your pet care!! Thank you so much Becky! We will definitely be booking you again for our next trip! :)
I had a great experience with Stephanie. This was my first time leaving my cat alone for several days, and I was understandably nervous, but she did an excellent job and quickly put me at ease. She was reliable, communicative, and very attentive to Bagel’s needs. She made sure he was eating, drinking, and using the litter normally, and she took the time to observe his behavior rather than forcing interaction. Bagel is a cautious cat, but he became more comfortable over the course of the visits. I really appreciated the updates and knowing that Bagel was calm, safe, and well cared for in his own home. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and would highly recommend her, especially for shy or sensitive pets.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Novi on Rover is $17.12 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 4,493 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Novi. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Novi stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Novi. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
